I'm thinking about switching my modified glass tank for a plastic bin for my BP after reading about the benefits of that over glass. My snake being comfortable is more important than a decorative tank, of course, but I'm trying to think of a way to make it look a little nicer! I live in a studio so the enclosure takes up a significant amount of space. The tank I have now looks beautiful, with a custom backdrop and sides I made, but it has the typical problems of glass tanks of course and will be outgrown very soon (it's a 10gal, recycled from a tank I had, with the intention of getting a new one soon.) I'm fairly crafty, so if anyone has made a storage bin enclosure look...well, not like a storage bin sitting on the table, recommendations for attractive bins I can use, or other ideas for making a comfortable and safe (and lightweight!) DIY enclosure, let me know!
I have a couple general questions about using a storage bin as well, I've read other people's descriptions of theirs and how they made them, but can't seem to find out how people keep the lid on. I have very strong clamps on my lid now because my BP likes to climb and play in his vines near the top, but I'm not sure how that would work with the shape of storage box lids which usually just snap lightly on either end. Could I just bent the metal clamps into the right size? We're talking about a criminal mastermind here.
Also, and this may sound stupid but I honestly don't know, if I use a plastic/rubber bin, will my UTH burn it?
